How does RNA different from DNA
RNA contains uracil and ribose
Which of the following codons signifies the end of translation
UGA
in eukaryote, functional messenger RNA molecules are made from
exon spliced together after introns are removed
promoters are
DNA sequences near operons that regulate transcription
Which describes RNA
uracil
Describe the function of each of the three types of RNA
mRNA-carries messenger, tRNA-moves the message, rRNA-makes up the ribosomes
The process by which the genetic code of DNA is coped into a strand of RNA is
transcription
The number of codons in the genetic code is
three
IN messenger RNA, each codons specifies a particular
amino acid
what are the three components of nucleotides
phosphate group, sugar, base
why do transcription takes place
DNA cannot leave the nucleus
the process of making protiens on the ribosomes based on instruction from messenger RNA is
translation
hages in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as
Mutation
substances that can ause a change in the DNA code of an organism
mutagens
name and describe the two types of mutations
chromosomes-affect part or all of a chromosomes, gene- affects one or more nucleotides
shape of DNA
double helix
DNA name
deoxyribonucleic ancid
How is DNA essential to life
genetic diverstiy, genetic material
RNA strand
One
sugar in RNA
ribose
base only found in RNA is
Uracil
start codon is
AUG
stop codon is
UGA
enzyme that proofreads new DNA starands is
DNA polymerase
Change in DNA
mutation
DNA transcribed to
RNA
end product of translation is
protein
ribosomes makes
protein
insertion mutation
one base is inserted
chemical or physical agents in the environment
mutagens
affects normally one amino acid
substitutional mutation
one base is deleted
deletion mutation
DNA sequence is shifted
frameshift mutation
HOw many chromosomal mutations are there
four
loss all or part of the chromosomes]
deletion
extra copy or all or part of chromosomes
duplication
reverses the direction of parts of chromosomes
inversion
part of one chromosomes breaks off and attaches to another
translocation
How are mutation produced
errors in DNA replications, stressful environmental condition
DNA helicase unzips and unwinds the two strands of DNA
enzyme
an enzume called DNA helicase unzips fand unwinds the two strands of DNA by
breaking the hydrogen bonds holding the base together
RNA is like the of DNA master plan
blueprint
proteins are made by joining amino acids together in longchain called
polypeptides
how many nitrogen bases are found in RNA
four
Which base from DNA is replace in RNA with uracil
thymine
transcription occurs in the
nuclues
thranslation occurs in the
cytoplasm
____ turns RNA into DNA
transcription
amino acid has ____ bases
three
___ turn RNA into proten
translation
you have to have a ___ strand to make a new one
old
___ strand has all the information needed to reconstruct the other half
each
each starands can be used to make the other strand
complementary
___ occurs at 100 places in the chromosome and goes 3 direction
replication
sight where double helix seperation and replication occur
replications fork
before cell divides it _____ its DNA in copying process callled
duplicates, replications
DNA seperates into two strands and makes
complementary strand
each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a ____ or model for the new strand
template
DNA is made of chemical building block called
nucleotide
___ is the heriditary material in human and almost all other organism
DNA
What makes up the sides of the DNA ladder
sugar phosphate (backbone)
what mades up ther rungs of the DNA ladder
base ( nitrogenous)
___ is the hereditary material in human and almost all other oraganism
DNA
___ of human DNA is exactly the same
99.9%
there is a copy of our entire DNA sequence in almost every cell of our body except
RBC
________ discovered that he could transform harmless bacteria into one that can cause disease
1928 Fredrick Griffith
causes disease
virulent
doesn't cause diseases
nonvirulent
____ discovered that nucleic DNA stores sand transmits the genetic information from one generation of an organism to another
1944 Oswald Avery
___ used xray to create the first image of DNA
1952 Rosalind Franklin
___ Discovered hydrogen bond were, what kept the two strand of DNA together
1953 Watson and Crick
how many different amino acids are commonly found in polypeptides
20
these bases form a language with just four letter
genetic code
way inwhich DNA RNA and proteins are involved in putting genetic information into action in living cell
gene expresssion
information is transferred from DNA to RNA to protein
central dogma of molecular biology
the decoding of an mRNA message into a protein is called
translation\
the decoding of an mRNA message into a protein is called
translation
IN a general way, genes contain coded DNA instructions that tells cells how to build ___
protein
the first step in __ these genetic instruction is to copy part of the ___ _____ form DNA into RNA.
decoding, base sequence
